Thunderstorm forces players off in Chelsea's CWC last-16 clash with Benfica
Chelsea's bid to reach the Club World Cup quarter-finals was delayed as their clash with Benfica in Charlotte was interrupted by a thunderstorm on Saturday. Enzo Maresca's side were leading 1-0 and just four minutes away from securing their place in the last eight when the referee took players off the field at the Bank of America Stadium. Captain Reece James had broken the deadlock with a superb free-kick in 64th minute, rewarding Chelsea for a dominant display. Yet as the final whistle neared, the sky darkened and a game which had largely been played in sweltering 32C heat was halted. It is the latest of a number of matches in the tournament to have been paused because of a thunderstorm. The winner of the game, when completed, will face Brazilian side Palmeiras in Philadelphia on Friday.

Worrying update on Shedeur Sanders' NFL future as Browns decision looms after QB's draft humiliation
There's been a worrying update on Shedeur Sanders' NFL future as the Cleveland Browns prepare to name their starting quarterback later this summer. Sanders, who infamously fell to the fifth round of the NFL Draft before Cleveland selected him, is part of a crowded Browns' quarterback room which also includes Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel and the injured Deshaun Watson. But according to former wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh, Sanders is not even in the running to win the top job. 'I was told from somebody that is in the building that ain't a player, it's really coming down to Kenny Pickett or Dillon Gabriel,' Houshmandzadeh said on the Nightcap podcast. 'That's what I was told. But now when you get the reports that Shedeur's completing seven out of nine passes - is it against starters? 'Or is it against the threes and the fours, the guys that are going to get released? So it seems impressive when you see the graphic, but is it really if it's not against the starters or guys that are going to be on the team?' During a minicamp practice on June 10, Sanders reportedly completed 10 of 12 passes and threw two touchdowns. However, ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi previously reported that Sanders' roster spot isn't 'guaranteed' after the Browns were able to select him with the No. 144 pick. Additionally, Ashley Bastock previously opined that Sanders was fourth in the quarterback pecking order - behind Pickett, Gabriel and Flacco in that order - after observing minicamp. Nonetheless, head coach Kevin Stefanski was previously full of praise for both Sanders and Gabriel. 'Those guys are doing great,' Stefanski said earlier this month. 'They are both wired to get in early, stay late, put in whatever work is required. They're sponges in the meeting room, which I think is really fun for me.' Sanders' plunge in the NFL Draft came after he chose not to throw for teams at the Combine and reportedly rubbed teams the wrong way during interviews. And aside from the tricky situation Sanders now finds himself in, his draft freefall also cost him financially. He signed a four-year, $4.6 million deal with Cleveland that included his $447,000 signing bonus – which represents the only guaranteed portion of the deal. By comparison, Titans' No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward signed a four-year, fully guaranteed $48.8million deal with Tennessee. Sanders had long been expected to be an early first-round pick before his stunning draft slide. Following OTAs and minicamp this spring, Browns training camp will begin on July 25.

Flutter's FanDuel faces US lawsuit over predatory marketing
S ince he took office in December 2020, the mayor of Baltimore, Brandon Scott, has been on a mission to address the the city's challenges. Crime has dropped, with murders falling 20 per cent last year. Scott has also been tackling the city's empty, abandoned houses, investing in youth services and repairing its crumbling infrastructure. This year, he took on another challenge: the damage he says is being done by the growth in online sports betting. In April he launched a lawsuit against gambling firms, including FanDuel, which is owned by Flutter Entertainment, based in Dublin. Scott alleged that FanDuel had been targeting some of the most vulnerable Baltimoreans, inducing them to bet beyond their means and using sophisticated and misleading sales tactics to do so.
